Species Profile
Black Pearl (Pleurotus spp.), also known as “Black King Trumpet”, is a delicious mushroom with brown marbled caps and long beefy stems.
A hybrid between pearl oysters and king oysters, these mushrooms are less finicky to grow than king oysters. They grow long stems in high CO2 conditions. These mushrooms prefer moderate temperatures (10oC to 20oC) and are prone to drying when young if high humidity is not maintained.
